OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

Switching on and off

Before switching on the scarifier ensure that it is not in contact with any
!
objects. Keep your feet and hands well away from the cylinder and the
ejector opening. Danger of injury!
1. Place the scarifier on a level lawn surface.
2. Form a loop in the end of the power cable and hang it into the strain relief (17).
3. Connect the appliance to the power source.
4. To switch on press the unlocking button on the handle (1) and simultaneously
press the starting lever (3). Release the unlocking button (1).
5. To switch off release the starting lever (3).
Overload protection
The motor is automatically switched off when the appliance is overloaded.
Release the starting lever and reset the scarifier after a cooling down period of
approx. 1 minute.
WARNING! The cylinder continues to run for a brief period after the
appliance has been switched off. Do not tilt or carry the scarifier while
!
the motor is still running and do not touch the cylinder while it is still
rotating. Danger of injury!

Working with the scarifier

When working on slopes always proceed across the slope. Be particularly
!
careful when walking backwards and pulling the scarifier.
Danger of stumbling!
The scarifier can be operated with or without the collection bag.
• Mow the lawn to the required grass height.
• Select the appropriate working or readjustment position (in the event of
cylinder wear) so that the motor is not overloaded.
• Start by working closer to the power socket and proceed away from
the socket.
• Always ensure that the extension cable is behind you, and after turning move
it to the side that has already been treated.
• Guide the scarifier at a walking pace down lanes that are as straight as
possible. To ensure uninterrupted working the individual lanes should
always overlap by a few centimeters. Dwelling too long at the same place
while the motor is running can damage the grass.
• To ensure that the extension cable is not an impediment, turn the scarifier
in such a manner that the cable strain release on the bar always faces the
side that has been treated.
After work and to transport the scarifier disconnect the power plug and
wait until the cylinder has come to a stop.
• Adjust the transport position 0 setting (see "Setting the Working Position")
when transporting the appliance.
• Lift the scarifier to transport it over steps and sensitive surfaces (e.g. tiles).
• Always clean the scarifier after each use (see "Cleaning, Maintenance,Storage").
